Hold on, itemUpdated JUST dispatches the event. It is not a method for updating an item. You need to either manually update the item object, or use setItemAt() to do the actual update.

It looks like it works, it is triggering an update event kind on the ArrayCollection, but the arrayCollection isn't actually getting updated. Whatever the original value is, it remains after the update. It appears to disregard the new value. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Sherif Abdou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > here is the message > warning: unable to bind to property 'City' on class 'Object' (class is not an IEventDispatcher) > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: jmfillman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 12:16:41 PM > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Update ArrayCollection from PopUp TitleWindow > > Anyone?
